Salvaturi Lorenzo seeks to make his place in the world, but first he must survive the mean streets of Dijvois. In a city run by gangsters, a life of crime is nothing short of ordinary, especially to a young thief living in Low Town.

Opportunity comes knocking after Sal is tasked with the theft of a magical locket. When the heist of the century goes awry, fingers are pointed in the hunt for a rat within the crew.
